Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is widely considered the “gold standard” for DNA amplification and detection of bacterial pathogens. However, most PCR instruments are inherently complex and cumbersome, limiting their utility in the field here on Earth, let alone aboard the International Space Station. Read more.

My area of research is the interaction between the solar wind and the Moon. With no global magnetic field or atmosphere, the Moon was traditionally seen as a perfect absorber of the incoming solar wind. Read more.

Traditional propulsion systems that rely on chemical combustion have been heavily optimized over the years, but the emergence of plasma-assisted combustion technologies have paved the way for even further improvements. Read more.

As manned space flights into deep space become more of a reality, the need to grow crops for food and medicinal purposes onboard spacecraft becomes essential to the nourishment and mental stability of space travelers. Read more.
